That was stupid, too. He just replaced a bad system with a worse one. It should be decided by regular season record, not in a game where WS HFA could possibly come down to an AB between a pitcher and a hitter on teams who have no shot of making the post-season.

What is Florida thinking? I bet Kenny Williams is thrilled to be rid of Ozzie's crap.

My bad, forgot about that one.

I didn't know trading managers was a thing you could do.

According to sources, he's out after tonight. http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7023269/ozzie-guillen-tells-chicago-white-sox-last-game-sources-say

I'd like the whole "Wild Card and Divison Winner cant meet in 1st round if they're from the same divison" thing to go away. It should be 1 vs 4/5, 2 vs 3. Period.

That's, what, the 4th time you've used that in the span of 2 days? I assume it's some sort of insult?

At least you got something right.

Had a pretty big game last year vs. Ohio St. They'll beat Nebraska. They are a better team and at home in a night game. I think this is a bigger game, but I'm also much more confident than vs. OSU last game. 2 top ten teams, Wisconsin can finally solidify itself this year as a top 5 team by playing a really good team on the national stage. Camp Randall at night is getting closer to the top tier of night locations (LSU, Bama, VTech) for showcase games. I just wish they'd schedule tougher non-conference games. It seems every year they face Cupcake University and St. Mary's School for the Blind. are you incapable of ever making a post that isnt the most generic [expletive] ever? Are you incapable of ever not being a jackass? Thanks for your hard hitting analysis of my post.

No, you might as well not go to 3, because that screws up everybody else who has to wait around for the series. Plus there would be all sorts of travel questions if you had the teams each get a chance to play in their home stadium. You open up the playoffs to more fan bases, which increases interest. There is automatically going to be 2 must-see games at the beginning of every playoffs. Everybody loves win or go home games and they don't happen enough. That increases interest. You add a huge incentive to winning your division, and subsequently a huge incentive to having the best record in your league. As things stand now there is virtually no difference between winning 105 games as a division winner or sneaking into the playoffs with an 85 win wild card season (or division winning season for that matter). The only "downside" is it punishes the best wild card winner, but that's too bad. Win your division next time. I would assume the WC team with the best record would have the home game, correct? It's common sense, but this is Selig we're talking about so you can't be too sure. Selig has been a lot better at his job than people give him credit for. He took over an old stodgy game that was losing ground fast in the fan department and it has thrived under his watch. He also turned a blind eye to steroids tainting the game, and gave away something huge like HFA in the World Series to the league that wins the All-Star game simply because he was embarrassed in his home park. And he canceled the World Series in 1994. But he did expand the playoffs, so there's that. And I'm not opposed to a 5th WC team, but I never understood the outrage over a Wild Card team winning the World Series. It has happened in every other sport and I haven't seen the outrage about it there, but in baseball it's some sort of travesty? I just don't get it.

BUT....BUT..... THEY WERE RESTING FOR THE PLAYOFFS!!!

Pretty much this. The Packers are talented, and they're deep as hell. Anyone who says they're lucky and actually means it is a moron.

first of all, the missed PI on woodson when he fell into hester like an oaf was pretty impactful. because it wasn't called, the bears punted and gave the packers great field position, which they used to score a TD. the punt return was just another bad call by the refs. I know, I admitted that in an earlier post. That's why I'm surprised there wasn't more complaining about that one. Fact, is I'd be more upset about that one then the punt return. The punt return was just a cooler play and the last one. I'm really not trying to be an A-hole (ok, I probably was a-holeish on in a post or two). I've had discussions/arguements with fans of my team on other boards regarding stuff like this as well. There is a lot of time until next Sunday and I like posting about the game that took place. Fact is I enjoy posting on this site more than other ones. the problem is, a call like that probably sabotaged our season, and i've seen the packers get the benefit of every call and every break for about what, 10 weeks in a row? it's frustrating to watch things like this continue to happen for a team that i'm not fond of. the packers are the better team, i'm not saying the bears are better by any stretch, but their run of luck has been nothing short of astonishing. I really don't think winning 3 tough road games to get to the Super Bowl, then beating a very good Steelers team is "luck."

So Bears fans bitching about "bs non calls" in a loss against the Packers is ok, but if the shoe was on the other foot Packers fans would be told to "stop crying" and "the Bears won fair and square", etc. It works both ways. Now you've got it. As long as you can admit the hypocrisy.

JerMichael Finley owns. That is all.

Who does he play for? I meant Major Wright. Posting while distracted is bad.

Chris Harris and Major White both confirmed out for today.

I'm going to make it my mission that you become a fan, willing or not. One of my best friends is a loyal Gopher. He teaches abroad in South Korea and even taught his kids the Ski-u-mah cheer. dont try and be friends with me Get over yourself. You're not worth my time.

Kemp now at .325 to Braun's .331. The other stats remain unchanged.

I can't disagree with you there. I get looks like that all the time because of my Cubs fandom. Of course, then the assumption is that I'm a Bears fan, too. And anyone who says "Wes-consin" needs a kick in the crotch.

I didn't say "media." I said "ESPN." And I'm talking about the Dodgers, not any other team in any other sport. It's well known that ESPN has a bias toward the Yankees and Red Sox. Reading comprehension is your friend. Try it sometime. "i didnt say media, i said ESPN" (the largest sports media in the world, by miles) Yes, but I'm going to let you in on a secret. There's more media than just ESPN Don't tell anyone. Shhhhh....
